TO DR. KING, BISHOP OF DERRY.

MY LORD,

DUBLIN CASTLE, JULY 16, 1700.

I WAS several times to wait on your lordship at your lodgings; but you were either abroad, or so engaged, that I could not be permitted the honour to attend you. I have an humble request to your lordship, that you will please to excuse me if I cannot be at the triennial visitation; for, my lord^[1] and lady continually residing at the lodge, I am obliged to a constant attendance there.

I am, with all respect,⁠

My lord,⁠

⁠⁠Your lordship's most obedient

⁠⁠⁠⁠and most humble servant,

JON. SWIFT.

↑ Earl of Berkeley, then one of the lords justices of Ireland.
